Abstract:
A process for separating off acid gases from a nitrogen oxide-comprising fluid stream, wherein a) the fluid stream is brought into contact in an absorption zone with an aqueous absorbent which comprises at least one amino group-comprising compound, wherein a deacidified fluid stream is obtained, b) the deacidified fluid stream is brought into contact in at least one scrubbing zone with an aqueous scrubbing liquid and a de-aminated deacidified fluid stream is obtained, wherein the scrubbing liquid is recycled via at least one scrubbing zone, c) overflow from the at least one scrubbing zone is treated with UV light, and d) the UV-treated overflow is combined with the absorbent. The process permits the efficient degradation of the nitrosamines present in the absorbent.
Abstract:
1,3-Diaminocyclohexanes of the general formula (I) are suitable for removing carbon dioxide from fluid streams where the radicals R are each, independently of one another, C1-4-alkyl; and n is an integer from 0 to 3. The amino groups of the 1,3-diaminocyclohexane are preferably arranged in trans position relative to one another in the plane of the cyclohexane ring. Absorption media for removing carbon dioxide from fluid streams comprise a) a 1,3-diaminocyclohexane of the general formula (I) and b) optionally at least one tertiary amine and/or a sterically hindered primary or secondary amine. In a process for removing carbon dioxide from fluid streams, the absorption medium is brought into contact with a fluid stream.
Abstract:
An absorbent for removing carbon dioxide from a fluid stream, comprising an aqueous solution a) of an amine of the general formula (I) in which R1, R2 and R3 are each independently selected from C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; each R4 is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-4alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; each R5 is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; X is OH or NH(CR1R2R3); m is 2, 3, 4 or 5; n is 2, 3, 4 or 5; and o is 0 or 1; and b) at least one activator selected from b1) a sterically unhindered primary amine and/or a sterically unhindered secondary amine; and a carboanhydrase. The absorbent allows rapid absorption of carbon dioxide from fluid streams.
